You'll be able to see Jupiter and Venus 'kiss' in the night sky with your naked eye over the next couple of days. Here's where to look and when exactly you'll be able to see the conjunction:
SALT LAKE CITY — If you get lucky and look to the West over the next several days, you may be able to see Jupiter and Venus"kiss" in the night sky!
Patrick Wiggins, Utah's Nasa Solar System Ambassador explained that you'll be able to get a great view of the conjunction with binoculars as both planets will be in the same field of view but even with just a naked eye, you'll be able to see the bright Venus and Jupiter. Jupiter and Venus will be just one-half degree apart on the night of Wednesday, March 1, and although it's not a rare phenomenon, it's still cool to witness!
Just look to the West and search for two bright objects in the sky. Utah has had stormy skies over the last week but assuming there's a break in the clouds, you should be able to spot the planets.
